So, now BH has been taken over, what are the plans, if any, to improve it? Apart from a bit of forum action and me taking over the blog section it seems to have died a death!

  Betterhumans. A very aspirational word for which the human species has progressed and struggled through several civilizations. An appropriate question would now be : Are we better humans ? . "Yes" would be the answer any person from the "Developed world" shall give upto a probability of 90 %. Such a ...

I had the idea almost seven years ago. In the depths of an existential crisis, consumed with absorbing everything I could about transhumanism, and working for an internet start-up (before the first bubble burst), I decided to create an outlet and destination for forward-thinking ideas and ...

As we work to develop the next phase of Betterhumans we’re going to introduce and integrate some of our new offerings with the existing version of the site. The first of these changes will be a new approach to how we report the news.   If you’re like us, you need to have your daily fix of the latest news in sci-tech, culture, ...

Check out this sexy conceptual front page mock-up for Betterhumans. While it's unlikely that we're going to go with this exact design, it should give you an idea of the direction we have in mind for the next phase of Betterhumans (which is slated for re-launch in January).

New rocket powered robotic arm is ten times more powerful than commercial versions available now. The prototype rocket powered mechanical arm can lift (curl) about 20 to 25 pounds – three to four times more than current commercial ...

Crossposted from advancednano.blogspot.com Some dismiss the view that the world and the technology that will be impacting it will be substantially different (or worse) in 2030 versus now. Even a thread on betterhumans has this discussion. The original poster is confused or purposely misinterpreting various predictions related the Singularity and ...

Months after starting down this path, I am happy to announce (as you might have seen) the launch of a refreshed Betterhumans.com. The new site is lighter, less cluttered, more focused and more content-rich, changes aimed at expanding Betterhumans' position as a top destination for learning about and discussing issues and developments in ...

So a few days ago, I was ready to dump Betterhumans. I had planned to give members and visitors two weeks notice and then, if I couldn't find someone to take it over, just shut it down. Drastic, perhaps. After all, I've run the site for nearly five years now. But as I worked myself raw on the new site, I just couldn't stand how much time, energy ...
